  • Page 1 Application Note Electric Toothbrush SLG47513 This application note describes how to use the SLG47513 to implement an electric toothbrush. The application note comes complete with design files, which can be found in the References section.

  • Page 2 They often use nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, whose nominal voltage is 1.2 V. The SLG47513 has a working voltage range from 1 V to 1.65 V, enabling control over the toothbrush’s operation. Figure 1. General Schematic of Electric Toothbrush Based on SLG47513 2.
  • Page 3 Electric Toothbrush Figure 2. Electric Toothbrush GreenPAK Designer Schematic Motor Control When the toothbrush is in sleep mode, Pin 8 output is set to HIGH due to a pull-up resistor, but when a button is pressed, a low-level signal appears for a brief period. To filter out switch bouncing, a Delay macrocell DLY4 is used.
  • Page 4 Figure 1). The divider comprises external resistors R7 (100 kΩ) and R5 (4.7 kΩ), and an internal pull-down resistor (10 kΩ) inside the SLG47513, which sets the peak value of the voltage on Pin 6 at around 1.2 V. When the signal from the charger reaches Pin 6, which functions as an analog comparator, a HIGH level appears at the input of a frequency detector.
  • Page 5 Electric Toothbrush goes to Pin 5 and enables charging (see Figure 5 Figure 6). This high-level signal at the output of Pin 5 opens a Q2 transistor, which, in turn, opens a Q1 transistor, initiating the charging process of the battery. Figure 5 Signal from Charger at Input of Pin 6 and Output Enable at Pin 5 Figure 6 Signals at Input of Pin 6 and Output of Pin 5 during the Process of Disconnecting Charger To protect the battery against overcharging, an analog comparator ACMP1H is used.
  • Page 6 The SLG47513 is a low-voltage GreenPAK IC. Its low-voltage operation allows the project to be supplied by just one 1.2 V NiMH battery, which is the primary power source for electric toothbrushes. The SLG47513 is a perfect fit for these devices as it has a sufficient number of digital and analog macrocells that can be used to control the toothbrush motor and implement additional features such as timers and charging control.
